Living Wild: Raccoons (Paperback)

Masked eyes shift … Ringed tail flicks … Meet the raccoon! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these mischievous mammals. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a traditional story about the raccoon from the Lakota people adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
